Hey Everyone,
I need some advice on hooking up the oil pressure guage and the oil temp guage. Lets take the oil pressure first. The installation instructions recommend in a high vibration(racing) application that the sending unit be mounted somewhere besides directly to the motor. Do you guys agree? Where are yall mounting the units? Let me say this also, my car came with an externally mounted oil filter and a 3 pass oil cooler. All of the extra "ports" are taken. I have purchased electric not mechanical guages. So any suggestions where to tap into the engine.
Second, Im also looking for a place to mount the 'probe' for the temp guage. Guess what? No where to tie into the oil pan. Am I overlooking something?
After reading some of the older post, I was thinking about taking the red disk looking piece that screws into the original oil filter and taking it to the machine shop and having them drill and tap me a place for the sending unit and the probe for the temp guage. Can this be done. Please give me your thoughts and past expierences.
I have about 10 days left till track time, time is running out! Thanks ahead of time! Any and all advice is well appreciated.
